Book Reviews of Grimoire for the Green Witch: A Complete Book of Shadows
Book Review: Much more than it seems
Summary: 5 Stars
I was drawn to this book simply for its spells having a Book of Shadows already on my shelf. But when I started to read I slowly began to realize how much more this book really is. Don't let the size fool you. It may seem small but this is one of the most extensive books I have ever read on the subject. Not only does it explain the basics that pretty much every Book of Shadows does (or should) go into, but it also explains intricate details for further knowledge that most have to gain from personal experience.
It starts with deity basics, explaining what green witchcraft is and its ethics (Ann Moura being a green witch along with much of her family for many generations) along with who (in a very general way) the Goddess and God are. She mostly leaves this open for slight interpretation since many different types of point of view of the subject exist along with names as she slightly goes into by explaining what she has been brought up to believe in her family. She also expresses the main (not necessarily most popular) types of green witchcraft. Then she goes into the Wheel of the Year, quite extensively.
A large amount is devoted to what the book claims to be, the BOS, explaining rituals, chants, and blessings done during the Sabbats (one of the longest and most extensive I've seen) and during spells, tools and how to make them, important rituals such as Drawing Down the Moon and consecrations, a large chapter for just meditation, a chapter of just things needed to make a spell and ritual work and what goes into making them (there are nineteen sections of this chapter mind you).
Only now FINALLY do we get to the spells chapter, which was mostly spells for basic living which I personally was happy with, having grown tired of the usual making your neighbor fall in love with you spells. Afterwards is a section on crafts which are used often in many books and spells. Next comes the chapter on most things herbs are used for like teas and baths. Then a chapter on all things divination associated such as how to read tea leafs and extended explanations of each and every tarot card. And finally what I thought to be most surprising was she actually put in a section on palm reading.
All and all, this book is wonderful and has literally everything you will ever need. I highly recommend it for all witches, green or gray, beginners or advanced. It's a marvelous read.
